       Yeah ... me cautious too!
       It has been a pretty impressive start to the WC though! 15
       goals, 4 matches. Long may the entertainment continue!

       The bosses (Robben, Sneijder, V Persie) talked to team in the
       dressing room and told exactly that, winning against Spain
       doesn't count for anything if you don't win the next match.
       I really liked how they played as a team, that foul De Jong made
       first half on busquets, Sneijder yelling at Busquets and making
       a big foul on Busquets a minute later to retaliate, that is
       playing as a team, reminded me of V Aerle and Voller with Koeman
       helping out.
       This game really showed that if you have 2 of the biggest stars
       in football and they play the way they can that you still can
       beat any team despite having the worst squad in thirty years

       @ Otu: thanks for cheering  ;D, btw the ref in Holland _ Span
       game gave a very soft penalty too  >:(
       Apart from the goals, for me the highlights were
       - the pass of sneijder for Robben second goal.....so freaking
       precise.
       - Nigel de Jong who did a ridiciouls amount of dirty work for
       the team
       - backline was sometimes shaky (although Ron Vlaar was
       solid.....we used to call him Ron Conrete when he played at
       Feyenoord  :D) but they didn't gave away too many chances.
       And I am glad that we manage to play some proper football again,
       in the end it is all about entertainment. And hopefully good
       results.

       Watched the first match tonight. Surprised Greece didn't
       dashboard in the tunnel. The manager obviously plays FUT, Ibarbo
       over two players that have scored over 50 goals this season,
       first goal scored with a 2* weak foot deflecting in of a TOTS
       Greek defender! Not to mention ridiculous celebrations. Knowing
       EA these Columbians with 90 pace will all have it as their
       default celebration next season. All that was missing was
       shushing and gangnam. Maybe FUT isn't so wrong after all!

       same Otu, have watcehd every game so far.   Looking forward to
       the England Italy game too, should be an intriguing affair, im
       not convinced it wil be the bore draw that most people are
       predicting.  Lets hope for an early goal to kick the game into
       life

       Would've thought that the Eng v Ita game would've been dull.
       Once again ... what a great start to a World Cup!! With all the
       negative surrounding the general populous, this is proving to be
       a showcase event. Sad for the people, but great for football.
       Two quality goals too! Great strike from Marchisio & quality
       cross/finish from Rooney & Sturridge.

       Yeah Kiwi nice goals.   I had a feeling this was going to be a
       great World Cup and its started off that way.   Just something
       special about having it in Brazil.  Crazy to think they are
       playing in the amazon jungle for this game.   But Brazil seems
       to have the magic that brings a World Cup to life.   Lets hope
       for more of the same as the tourney continues
